What Is Spinal Fusion?
Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure that joins two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It’s often recommended for conditions like scoliosis, herniated discs, spinal fractures, or chronic back pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments.
Recovery: Healing takes time—patients may need physical therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and patience as the spine strengthens. But with proper care, many regain independence and quality of life.
Spinal fusion isn’t just about surgery—it’s about reclaiming movement, comfort, and confidence. If you or a loved one is considering it, talk to one of our spine specialists to explore the best options.
